Code LOVE (2)

 



Prithvi wanted to check what the commotion was all about, but was forced to lay back on the bed. 

Hello! What is your name? Can I use your mobile phone? he asked the ward boy.

I'm Sundar. Sorry Sir, we are not allowed to carry phones with us. You can call from the telephone at the nurses' station. But please don't get up before finishing the IV, else doctor will reprimand me, Sundar said.

Got it Sundar, Prithvi said nodding his head. 

Prithvi tried to recollect the sequence before he collapsed. He scratched his forehead a few times and was shaking his head in negation.

Sir are you feeling dizzy? Or are you not remembering anything? What do you do Sir, do you recall? Sundar asked in a worried tone watching Prithvi behaving in a weird manner.

Don't worry Sundar, I remember everything, I'm alright. Your doctor, Dharaa right? was quick enough to bring me here and treat in time. I'm obliged. Thankyou all  for helping me out, Prithvi said asking Sundar to remove the IV line. See it's getting over, he said pointing to the emptying IV bag. 

Wait Sir, let me call the doctor. I can't decide whether you can go or stay, I'm just a ward boy, Sundar said and hurried to call in the doctor.

Sundar returned with the resident doctor, but was a bit late due to the emergency case. However, Prithvi wasn't on his bed. They searched the entire room, the corridors, the entrance lobby, everywhere, but Prithvi wasn't seen. 

Did you see a well built young man wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans, with a crew-cut? He has a deep voice, looks like an army-man, Sundar asked the nurse sitting by the desk at the nurses' station.


Yes, there was a similar man here some time ago. He asked if he could make a call. And he talked with someone. He then paid the hospital bill and left. Umm wait let me check....yes, it's Mr. Prithvi Rathod, the nurse said.

Doctor Dharaa came over to see Prithvi. Sundar narrated the whole story. Doctor I'm sorry. I just went to call the doctor and he....

It's okay Sundar. You said he dialled a number from this telephone right? So let's check the number. It's strange that a patient leaves without consulting the doctor. I was responsible for him so I should know, Dharaa said.

Hello, who is this? Can I talk to Mr. Prithvi Rathod?, Dharaa redialled the number and spoke. But no one answered from the other end. 

Hello..hello, can you hear me?...I'm calling from the hospital. Mr. Rathod was admitted here. But he left without a word. Are you his guardian? Has he reached home? Dharaa kept speaking, but it was futile. No one answered from the other side, instead hung up the phone.

Strange people they are. One just leaves without notice and here no one answers the phone, weird, Dharaa murmured. Anyway, let's go back to check on the casualties. Today is going to be a hectic day, she said to the resident doctor. 

Doctor the man said thank you to you and to everyone. He said he was obliged,  Sundar said.

Hmmm. You keep an eye, if you find anything suspicious around, report to me. Also check the CCTV footage of the exit way, to see if he has left the hospital, Dharaa told Sundar and left.

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

Image
She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
